Have You Seen the Tattoo Ideas Trend Blowing Up on Social Media?

There’s nothing we love more than when artists find a way to utilize social media to their advantage to showcase their work and talent, especially in the age of weird algorithms and video-only platforms. One way we’ve seen this done recently has been with the Tattoo Ideas trend that has blown up on TikTok. Artists pick a theme and put together three to five ideas for a tattoo based on that theme, create a video, and voila! You have thousands of comments of people tagging their friends, asking if they need to credit the artist if they get the tattoo, or requesting a different theme for the next video.

One account we can’t get enough of is @dylanhoogerwerf. He’s done dozens, if not hundreds, of videos with varying themes ranging from tattoo ideas for self-love, introverts, karma, to matching tattoos for your friend group. One of the most popular series on his page is his small tattoo ideas videos, with over 50 million plays across the first few videos. Chances are that if you’re looking for a unique tattoo idea, there’s a video for it on his page.

Another account that has a ton of cool ideas is @purelypixi. She’s received over 15 million likes across her account and similar to Dylan, creates videos based on themes that she comes up with or that are requested by her followers. Something that we really like about her page is how unique her ideas are, with one of her more recent videos being “a tattoo idea that represents growing pain & trusting the process.” You can purchase a tattoo ticket from her website to get permission to tattoo her art, which is just another awesome aspect of this trend.

Our last feature is a really funny tattoo idea account, @dreamstated. With videos titled things like “Tattoos for people who hate everyone,” and “Tattoos for people who are dumb and hot,” their page is full of equally humorous but also aesthetically pleasing tattoo ideas. Although there aren’t that many videos to check out and it seems as though the account may now be inactive, it’s definitely worth checking out just for the vibes alone.

There are so many accounts and videos you can find with tattoo ideas on TikTok, so definitely don’t stop here! All you have to do is head to the search function and look up any tattoo idea you can think of, and there will be dozens of videos to make your tattoo dreams come true.
